A warm greeting to everyone on this Steemit platform, especially to all who make life in this community of @HeartSTEM, it is a great pleasure to be here with you, this is my first post here so I hope it is to everyone's liking and useful.
The Science of Accounting.
When starting to have accounting within a company, it is necessary to have at hand certain tools that help us to have a better control of the records, according to the commercial code in many countries of the world it is mandatory to use this type of tools, this is the case of the accounting books, the journal, ledger and inventory book.
Until a few years ago, tangent books were used for bookkeeping, but with the use of computers and technological advances, programs have been created that facilitate even more the handling and use of these books, so it is very common nowadays that these books are handled digitally and by means of computerized programs.
The journal
This helps us to have a record of all daily transactions as its name indicates, for this reason it is considered the most important and the main one, since in it the operations are recorded in more detail.
In the journal we can find the following form necessary to fill out and capture such information; Entry number, Date, Debit account, Credit account, Amount, Concept of the operation.
By having an orderly and correctly recorded journal, we will have a chronological enumeration, it will be useful enough to take the next step and keep the general ledger, as well as helping to facilitate the balancing in the balance sheet.
The general ledger
Once the transactions in the journal are ready, they are transferred to the general ledger. In this book we will be able to find in a grouped way all the operations carried out in a financial year in the journal.
In the general ledger we can find: all the balance sheet accounts (assets and liabilities), all the income and expenses incurred, in general all the movements of a company.
The main objective or function of the general ledger is to be able to accurately show the balance that is remaining in each account for the operations performed, so it is extremely necessary to have this book up to date with all the information provided to have a better picture of how are our accounting accounts as a company.
Inventory book:
In this book we can find the detailed and valued records of the goods that a company owns, everything movable and immovable, in addition to what it owns in warehouses, raw materials, products in production process and finished products. The inventory book avoids excess or lack of storage, and provides us with information about the amount of assets owned by a company.

The accounting session cannot be ignore in a company if the company must grow and not enter bankruptcy especially the journal.
That's totally true, thanks for commenting.
In any company or organisation, the department of accounting can't be denied because without it, there will be no accountable on the organisation and this can lead to the downfall of the organisation
Accounting is not only important for organizations, because if we as people spend more than we can produce, then we will never have anything, so even in daily life we must keep accounting in mind and organize ourselves to stay on our feet as organizations do. Thank you for commenting.
